Located near Coldspring on Lake Livingston, the Old 224 Road access site offers a convenient launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats on this large impoundment of the Trinity River. To reach the ramp, take Texas 156 north from Coldspring for approximately 1 mile, then turn right on Highway 224 and continue 5 miles to the marina. The facility features two 2-lane boat ramps suitable for various vessel types.
**Practical Information:** There is a $4 vehicle entry fee (with an additional $1 per-person charge). The ramp is operated by the Trinity River Authority and is closed December through January. For current conditions or additional details, contact the Trinity River Authority at (936) 653-4312. Lake Livingston is a large reservoir offering relatively calm, protected paddling compared to the free-flowing Trinity River, making it suitable for paddlers of varying skill levels.
